King Charles is the only song left from the last list, but it’s a name to watch for 2010, mark my words. Avett Brothers have the best video of them all. Vampire Weekend will rule 2010 just as they have 2008. Concert reviews on both in the next weeks. Norway at #4, Canada’s most celebrated lesbian sisters at 5 and Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie at 6, another great video. The Mess Hall seems to have stolen a Blues Explosion riff (sounds like Afro?) but who cares. Other countries in the list: France and Belgium.
